A few weeks ago Keith Nichol simply had a decision. Now the reality of that decision is beginning to set in for his family, particularly his mother and father. For Gary Nichol the matter of him leaving has come and gone, and now it's simply a matter of letting his son become the man he hopes to have raised him to be.

In fact, Nichol has plans of letting his son enjoy his first weekend on campus by himself. However, that's not to say that there aren't some plans to further ingratiate the Nichol family with Oklahoma's program, and Norman itself.
